1st time actually on SB. Hope ya-all don't mind if I jump into this can of worms? I have some burning ?s regarding the same line of this thread.
Let me distill some of these issues down for ya, if I may:
1. Do you have good LDS? If yes, then support them, if no then buy on line.
2. If you buy online and save a bunch of money and the things were to go ****-up, who's going to lend you the gears to keep on diving while warranty is being resolved? Are the savings worth the hassle of having no gears to dive with? That's a question you must ask yourself.
3. If you're out in the middle of nowhere and no LDS around, you have no recourse but to go with an on-line outfit.
